        The INSERT statement comes in two basic forms. The first form (with the "VALUES"
        keyword) creates a single new row in an existing table. If no column-list is specified
        then the number of values must be the same as the number of columns in the table.
        If a column-list is specified, then the number of values must match the number of
        specified columns. Columns of the table that do not appear in the column list are
        filled with the default value, or with NULL if not default value is specified.
      </p>
      <p>
        The second form of the INSERT statement takes it data
        from a SELECT statement. The
        number of columns in the result of the SELECT must exactly match the number of columns
        in the table if no column list is specified, or it must match the number of columns
        name in the column list. A new entry is made in the table for every row of the SELECT
        result. The SELECT may be simple or compound. If the SELECT statement has an ORDER
        BY clause, the ORDER BY is ignored.</p>
      <p>
        The optional conflict-clause allows the specification of an alternative constraint conflict resolution algorithm to use during this one command. See the section titled
        <a href="lang_conflict.html">ON CONFLICT</a> for additional information. For compatibility
        with MySQL, the parser allows the use of the single keyword <a href="lang_replace.html">
          REPLACE</a> as an alias for "INSERT OR REPLACE".
